Philco 89B restoration
#1

    The radio I have, I believe, is the last model with the 36 tube before it was changed to a 77 tube.  My radio has a broken mica cap between the plate of the 75 tube and ground that is not shown on the circuit diagram here https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...-model-89/  The broken cap is a micamold with a color code of brown, yellow, brown.  In the later versions of the 89 with the 77 tube there is a 250 pf cap here.  I have attached a pic of the cap.  Is a 250 pf cap ok for my radio?  Thanks, Bob

Yup 250mmfd is fine voltage rating of 300v or better.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
